Love it, refreshing and I can drink as many as I like!
Good balance between sweet and bitter and the booze is not overpowering
Lovely and fruity. So I didn’t have apricot brandy, substituted with half peache sirop teisseire and half with Sauvignon blanc in order to recreate the balance and not have too much sugar
Very pleasant, the pink grapefruit and elderflower give a lychee flavour. Great pre dinner drink anytime of the year!
Very refreshing and well balanced if you don’t want a too strong pre-dinner drink.
I personally find this too sweet and has a ‘sweetie’ or candy-like flavour. I would lessen the sugar syrup, and I find the Calvados apple taste is totally obscured by the grenadine which is slightly overpowering.
I prefer this to Pimms now
The italicus gives a nice floral lift to the rum
2:1 is far too much Italicus for my taste, but 8:1 or so helps make cheaper sparkling wines very interesting
Yes agree, italicus is quite sweet. I put less and it’s easy drinking
I used White agricole rum and seems to overpower the cranberry. Nevertheless it’s still quaffable.
Very refreshing. Good balance with the amaretto and cranberry.
Very well balanced. I added orange s’est as disait have orange bitters.
Simple, smooth and sophisticated
Nice long drink and relatively low calorie.
This is a well balanced cocktail with just enough cassis to break through the vermouth and it doesn’t overwhelm the gin.
One of my go to festive drinks especially for a pre lunch cocktail.
Nice variation to Campari and orange
Very complex flavours but quite strong as an aperitif. I would prefer half the amount as a digestif, but that’s me.
Nice with a 49 proof agricole French white rhum.
Nice with the maraschino liqueur that gives a twist!
Waw I made it with prosecco and this was a treat :-)
I made it soon after again with another prosecco but it didn't blow me off my socks. Although the prosecco wasn't cheap, the taste wasn't great at all and spoiled the cocktail.
Does anyone have any suggestions for sparkling wines? Even better if the brand has small bottles because I'm not a professional :-)
Yes, you’re right on this so use a decent Cremant from either Alsace, Bourgogne or Loire. Or a Blanquette de Limoux; all using the méthode traditionnelle but can’t be called champagne because of the AOP. I can only comment on French regional ones because I know them best.
If not any other good quality sparkling white wine would not ruin you’re cocktail.
Very enjoyable
Very well balanced and lovely well rounded flavours.
Nice, if you like a martini, this will make a satisfactory alternative.
